+# grub2-se-verifyserv
+
+
+## Purpose
+After a kernel upgrade you may forgot to sign your kernel using the [grub2-signing-extension scripts](https://github.com/Bandie/grub2-signing-extension) again. 
+This is why I wanted an integration with i3status. I wrote a service in C which touches a file if GRUB2 is signed. If GRUB2 is not signed the file will be deleted.
+
+
+## Installation
+You need gcc or something similar. There is a systemd servicefile included. 
+To compile, install and start it you may want to do the following within this project directory:
+
+```
+make
+sudo make install
+sudo systemctl enable grub2-se-verifyserv
+sudo systemctl start grub2-se-verifyserv
+```
+
+
+## i3status integration
+To let it integrate with i3status, add the following to your i3status config:
+
+```
+order += "path_exists GRUB2_signed"
+[...]
+[...]
+path_exists GRUB2_signed {
+  path = "/verified"
+}
+```
+
+`grub2-se-verifyserv --help` will tell you the same btw.
